Description

    CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)
  • This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/473,692, filed May 28, 2003, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/467,180, filed May 1, 2003.[0001]
  • FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The invention relates to compositions with multiple phases and processes for making such compositions. These compositions are easily dispensed from their containers such that consistent doses of each phase are expelled from the container at each dispensing event. [0002]
  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Under the time pressures of daily life, individuals are seeking more efficient ways to address personal hygienic needs. For example, two-in-one shampoos that cleanse and condition in a single step are widely used by the consuming public. This same convenience is sought by consumers in the form of skin cleansing products that clean like bar soap, but also condition the skin. Early attempts at providing such a product employed dual-chamber packaging containing separate cleansing and conditioning products. The separate conditioning and cleansing compositions remain physically separate and stable during prolonged storage. These packages were designed to co-dispense the products together to effectuate simultaneous cleaning and conditioning. In another embodiment, the cleaning and conditioning products are mixed just prior to dispensing. Although such dual-chamber delivery systems seemed to provide improved the convenience sought by consumers, they frequently failed to achieve consistent and uniform performance because of the uneven dispensing of the different phases. Additionally, these packaging systems add considerable cost to the finished product and tended to be obtrusive in areas such as usual home tub/showers. [0003]
  • Alternatively, cleansing cream-astringent compositions comprising a cream phase and a gel phase were combined in typical product packaging for simultaneous dispensing of both phases. These products required special processing wherein two initially separate and distinct phase compositions are channeled to a filling head and simultaneously dispensed into rotating package or container. Stirring the product in the filling head during packaging is achieved by using a plurality of stirring rods disposed about the filling head. Note that these cleansing cream-astringent products do not contain a “surfactant” phase, such as typically found in personal cleansing products. Furthermore, even if such a composition contained a surfactant phase, the individual phases would be unevenly dosed from typical packaging. This would make such cleansing cream-astringent products unsuitable for use as a two-in-one type of personal cleansing products that is sought by the consuming public. [0004]
  • Other attempts to produce multiple liquid phase products that evenly dispense from routine packaging have been produced by providing two compounds in separate storage vessels and dedicated pumps wherein each phase is introduced through separate nozzles into a rotating package. These products typically have at least one colored phase, and only contain material such as surfactants. Since the compositions only contain surfactants, these compositions comprise no separate skin conditioning phase that comprises relatively high lipid levels. On the basis of the discussion above, there still remains a need for making a single product that evenly dispenses from routine packaging, therein satisfying the consumers demands for cleansing and skin conditioning.

  • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The invention relates to a composition comprising a plurality of visually distinctive phases where the phases are processed in such a manner that upon dispensing from a container said composition comprises a designated volume ratio of each phase of the composition. In one particular embodiment of the present invention, upon discharge, the composition contains about equal amounts of each phase as found in the composition in its container. [0010]
  • The invention further relates to a method of making multiple liquid phase compositions, which when dispensed, are distributed in their containers such that consistent doses of each phase are expelled from the container at each dispensing event. Additionally, the designated volume ratio at dispensing from a container is essentially equal to the volume ratio of the phases at the initiation of the process. [0011]
  • The present invention further relates to a process for making multiple liquid phase compositions comprising the steps of: [0012]
  • a) placing a plurality of liquid compositions in separate vessels equipped with means for transferring said compositions from said vessels; [0013]
  • b) transferring predetermined amounts of selected liquid compositions to a combiner; [0014]
  • c) transferring said liquid compositions from said combiner to a blender; [0015]
  • d) blending said liquid composition phases together to produce a combination product wherein said liquid compositions that comprise said combination product are physically distinct from one another; and [0016]
  • e) transferring said combination product through a dispensing means for filling an empty product container; [0017]
  • In an embodiment of this process, the pattern comprises phases that are visually distinct from each other and facilitate even distribution when dispensed. [0018]
  • In one embodiment, this process further involves initially placing the nozzle near the bottom of the container to be filled and lifting the nozzle as the container fills. Additionally, during filling, the container can be secured on a rotating platform for rotating the bottle while being filled. The platform can be rotated at speeds to provide an appropriate pattern of the composition to provide the dispensing benefit mentioned above. Typical platform speeds range from about 0 revolutions per minute (rmp) to 800 rmp. If desired, the rotating platform can be rotated by a variable speed drive mechanism. [0019]
  • The visual distinction between the phases can be in color or texture. The specific pattern can be chosen from a wide variety of patterns, including, but not limited to striping, marbling, geometrics, spirals, and mixtures thereof. [0020]

In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, a personal cleansing composition comprises a lathering phase and a non-lathering that are present within the container as distinct layers or “stripes”. The stripes may be relatively uniform and even across the dimension of the package. Alternatively the layers may be uneven, i.e. wavy, or may be non-uniform in dimension. The stripes do not necessarily extend across the entire dimension of the package. The “stripe” can comprise various geometric patterns, various colors and, or glitter or pearlescence, providing that the concentration of said alternative forms visually distinct bands or regions. [0030]
  • The term “marbling” as used herein refers to a striped design with a veined and/or mottled appearance similar to marble. [0031]
  • The methods defined below allow quantitative measurement of the striped and marbled patterns utilized in the compositions comprising multiple liquid phases of the instant application: [0032]
  • 1. Method for Measuring Average Stripe Size (AS) [0033]
  • First, a vertical line is drawn along the center of the product package using a pencil. Total the number of visually distinctive product stripes or N, including all product stripes with varying colors. Divide the height of the product package is measured as D in millimeters mm) by N. The average stripe size is calculated as: [0034]
  • AS=D/N
  • The average stripe size (AS) in the present invention is about 0.1 mm to about 10 mm. More preferably, the average stripe size is about 0.5 mm to about 5 mm. Most preferably, the average stripe size is about 0.5 mm to about 2 mm. [0035]
  • 2. Color Method for Striped/Marbled Multiple Liquid Phase Compositions [0036]
  • The GretagMacbeth Color-Eye 70000A spectrophotometer is used to measure color difference of striped/marbled multiple liquid phase compositions. The aperture size is 3 mm by 8 mm (Very Small Area of View). The instrument is running at reflectance mode with 2[0037] 0 incident light beam. First, one color measurement is made around the lightest area of the sample. This reading is used as the color standard. A second color measurement is made around the darkest area of the sample. This color reading is compared to the color standard (light spot) and color difference is computed as ΔE.
  • The striped/marbled multiple liquid phase compositions in the present invention have ΔE ≧1. Preferably, ΔE is greater than 2. Most preferably, ΔE is greater than 4. [0038]
  • The methods defined in the following paragraphs are methods for measuring the volume of each phase as a ratio of one to another in terms of the composition dispensed from the container. Multiple liquid phase compositions of the present invention deliver a consistent ratio of the all phases of the composition when dispensed from the container. [0039]
  • 1) Ultracentrifugation Method for Multiple Liquid Phase Compositions with Different Densities. [0040]
  • A Beckman LM-8 Ultracentrifuge is used to determine dispensing ratio of multiple liquid phase composition with different densities. The determination is determined at 50 C at 50,000 rpm for one hour using the SW 60Ti rotor. The dispensing ratio between the multiple phases can be determined through the phase volume measurement after ultracentrifugation. [0041]
  • 2) Color Method for Multiple Liquid Phase Compositions with Varying Colors. [0042]
  • A GretagMacbeth Color-Eye 70000A spectrophotometer is used to determine dispensing ratio of multiple liquid phase compositions with different colors. First, prepare a set of standard color samples by mixing different colored phases at various mixing ratios. Gently mixing the samples to make sure the samples are homogeneous. Then, take the color measurements using the color instrument and record the color readings. Then, dispense product from the package at about 10 grams interval. Gently mix these dispensed samples and then take the color measurements. The actual dispensing ratio can be determined by comparing the color reading of the dispensed sample closest to the color standard with a known mixing ratio. [0043]
  • 3) Chemical Analysis Method [0044]
  • Chemical analysis method is used to determine dispensing ratio of multiple liquid phase products when a chemical compound is used as a marker molecule in one of the multiple liquid phase compositions. By analyzing chemical concentration of the marker molecules through standard analytical method (e.g., GC, LC, and Mass Spectrometry), the dispensing ratio can be calculated. [0045]
  • For purposes of the instant disclosure, lather, viscosity and yield point are measured by the methods disclosed below. [0046]
  • Lather Volume Method [0047]
  • Lather volume of a striped liquid personal cleansing composition is measured using a graduated cylinder and a tumbling apparatus. A 1,000 ml graduated cylinder is chosen which is marked in 10 ml increments and has a height of 14.5 inches at the 1,000 ml mark from the inside of its base (for example, Pyrex No. 2982). Distilled water (100 grams at 23° C.) is added to the graduated cylinder. The cylinder is clamped in a rotating device, which clamps the cylinder with an axis of rotation that transects the center of the graduated cylinder. One gram of the total personal cleansing composition is added into the graduated cylinder and the cylinder is capped. The cylinder is rotated at a rate of 10 revolutions in about 20 seconds, and stopped in a vertical position to complete the first rotation sequence. A timer is set to allow 30 seconds for the lather thus generated to drain. After 30 seconds of such drainage, the first lather volume is measured to the nearest 10 ml mark by recording the lather height in ml up from the base (including any water that has drained to the bottom on top of which the lather is floating). [0048]
  • If the top surface of the lather is uneven, the lowest height at which it is possible to see halfway across the graduated cylinder is the first lather volume (ml). If the lather is so coarse that a single or only a few foam cells (“bubbles”) reach across the entire cylinder, the height at which at least 10 foam cells are required to fill the space is the first lather volume, also in ml up from the base. Foam cells larger than one inch in any dimension, no matter where they occur, are designated as unfilled air instead of lather. Foam that collects on the top of the graduated cylinder but does not drain is also incorporated in the measurement if the foam on the top is in its own continuous layer, by adding the ml of foam collected there using a ruler to measure thickness of the layer, to the ml of foam measured up from the base. The maximum foam height is 1,000 ml (even if the total foam height exceeds the 1,000 ml mark on the graduated cylinder). One minute after the first rotation is completed, a second rotation sequence is commenced which is identical in speed and duration to the first rotation sequence. The second lather volume is recorded in the same manner as the first, after the same 30 seconds of drainage time. A third sequence is completed and the third lather volume is measured in the same manner, with the same pause between each for drainage and taking the measurement. [0049]
  • The lather result after each sequence is added together and the Total Lather Volume determined as the sum of the three measurements, in ml. The Flash Lather Volume is the result after the first rotation sequence only, in ml, i.e., the first lather volume. The lathering cleansing compositions of the present invention have Total Lather Volume greater than 400 ml and Flash Lather Volume greater than 150 ml. [0050]
  • Viscosity of the Liquid Personal Cleansing Composition [0051]
  • The Wells-Brookfield Cone/Plate Model DV-II+ Viscometer is used to determine the viscosity of the liquid personal cleansing compositions herein. The determination is performed at 25 C with the 2.4 cm[0052] 0 cone measuring system with a gap of 0.013 mm between the two small pins on the respective cone and plate. The measurement is performed by injecting 0.5 ml of the sample to be analyzed between the cone and plate and toating the cone at a set speed of 1 rpm. The resistance to the rotation of the cone produces a torque that is proportional to the shear stress of the liquid sample. The amount of torque is read 2 minutes after loading the sample and computed by the viscometer into absolute centipoise units (mPa*s) based on the geometric constant of the cone, the rate of rotation, and the stress related torque.
  • The viscosity of the compositions disclosed herein ranges from 2,000 to 100,000 centipoise. Preferably, the viscosity is between 5,000 and 60,000 centipoise. [0053]
  • Yield Point of Liquid Personal Cleansing Composition [0054]
  • The Carrimed CSL 100 Controlled Stress Rheometer is used to determine the yield point of the liquid personal cleansing compositions. For purpose herein, the yield point is the amount of stress required to produce a strain of 1% on the liquid personal cleansing composition. The determination is performed at 77 F with the 4 cm 2[0055] 0 cone measuring system set with a 51 micron gap. The determination is performed via the programmed application of a shear stress (typically from about 0.06 dynes/sq. centimeter to about 500 dynes/sq. centimeter) over time interval of 5 minutes. It this amount of stress results in a deformation of the sample, a shear stress vs. strain curve can be created. From this curve, the yield point of the liquid personal cleansing composition can be calculated. Multiple liquid phase compositions as disclosed herein have values greater than 0.5 Pascal.
  • All percentages, parts and ratios as used herein are by weight of the total composition, unless otherwise specified. All such weights as they pertain to listed ingredients are based on the active level and, therefore, do not include solvents or by-products that may be included in commercially available materials, unless otherwise specified. [0056]
  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • As stated above, the invention relates to compositions with multiple liquid phases and a process for making such compositions. These compositions are easily dispensed from their containers such that consistent doses of each phase are expelled from the container at each dispensing event. In addition, to the cleansing performance and even application/distribution of skin conditioning agents or skin actives provided by the instant multiple liquid phase products, the instant personal cleansing composition embodiments allow consumers to utilize the entire contents of the container even the last dose administered will comprise all phases of the combination product. [0057]
  • Surprisingly, in instances where the mixing element of the blender is present, doses of a typical lathering phase to non-lathering phase demonstrate volume ratios which average 50:50 with no values outside the range of 40:60 to 60:40. Where the mixing element of the blender was not present a wide range of dispensing ratios from 0:100 to 100:0 are obtained. [0058]
  • While many variations in the physical characteristics of the components are possible, i.e., color, rheology, texture, density etc, variations in color are widely sought. The specific design or pattern achieved (i.e., width, length of stripe or marbling etc.) in the combination product can be varied by varying a number of factors including, but not limited to rheological characteristics of the phases, diameter of the dispensing means, presence or absence of rotation of the container during filling, rate of speed and constancy. [0059]
  • Placement of the dispensing means during filling of these multiple liquid phase products is an additional process variable. In one embodiment, the process involves initially placing the nozzle near the bottom of the container to be filled and lifting the dispensing means as the container fills. In other variations, the container itself can be raised on the dispensing means, or the container can be filled from the top. In one possible variation, the container can be filled upside down and the bottom attached to the container following filling. [0060]
  • For embodiments where a non-lathering (lipid) phase is utilized, the lathering phase may require heating and passing through a heat exchanger for cooling prior to start of the combining/filling process. [0061]
  • In one embodiment of the invention the composition is dispensed from the container upon being hand squeezed or inverted to gravity feed the composition. In one embodiment, the process is used to produce a spirally striped personal cleansing composition having a first stripe comprising a lathering phase containing a surfactant, water, and optional conventional personal cleansing ingredients and at least one additional stripe comprising a separate non-lathering phase Personal cleansing compositions have now been formulated which allow both a lathering phase (cleansing) and a non-lathering phase which can comprise a variety of phase types including but not limited to water in oil, continuous oil or high internal phase emulsion phases to be packaged in physical contact while remaining stable for prolonged periods. Further, one or more of the phases can include stable colorants, resulting in the possibility of visual patterns when the personal cleansing compositions are packaged in containers which allow the contents to be viewed. [0062]
  • These multiple liquid phase personal cleansing compositions comprise lathering and non-lathering phases that are processed so that the two separate phases are in physical contact yet remain stable. The compositions provide improved deposition of conditioning agents on skin. Skin conditioners applied to the body via the instant multiple liquid phase compositions deposit evenly, and impart excellent skin feel benefits. [0063]
  • These compositions further provide improved cosmetics via the striped appearance and improved skin feel during and after application. It has been found that such compositions with one or more separate phases in physical contact can be formulated with sufficiently high levels of benefit agents without compromising product lather performance and stability. The superior lather performance can be demonstrated via the lather volume method described herein. [0064]
  • It has also been found that the striped personal cleansing compositions can be formulated with selected skin active agents that provide improved chronic skin benefits to the skin. These compositions comprise a lathering phase containing a cleansing surfactant and at least one additional separate phase containing a skin active agent, wherein the cleansing and active phases are packaged in physical contact while remaining stable for long periods of time. Skin active agents appropriate for use in the compositions of the instant invention comprise, but are not limited to vitamins and derivatives thereof; sunscreens; anti-acne medicaments; antioxidants; skin soothing and healing; chelators and sequestrants; essential oils, skin sensates, pigments, pearlescent agents, lakes, colorings, and mixtures thereof. Colorants useful in the present invention are selected from the group consisting of [0065] Red 30 Low Iron, FD&C Red 40 AL Lake, D&C Red Lake Blend of Lake 27 & Lake 30, FD&C Yellow 5 Al Lake, FD&C Yellow 6 Al Lake, FD&C Yellow 5 Lake, FD&C Blue #1 AL Lake, Kowet Titanium Dioxide, D&C Red 30 Talc Lake, D&C Red 6 Barium Lake, D&C Red 7 Calcium Lake, D&C Red 34 Calcium Lake, D&C Red 30 AL lake, D&C Red 27 AL lake, D&C Yellow 10 AL lake, D&C Red 21 AL Lake, Yellow Iron Oxide, D&C Red 30 Lake, Octocir Yellow 6 AL Lake, Octocir Yellow 5 AL Lake, D&C Red 28 Lake, D&C Orange 5 Zirc Al Lake, Cos Red Oxide BC, Cos Iron Oxide Red BC, Cos Iron oxide Black BC, Cos Iron Oxide Yellow, Cos Iron Oxide Brown, Cos Iron Oxide Yellow BC, Euroxide Red Unsteril, Euroxide Black Unsteril, Euroxide Yellow Steril, Euroxide Black Steril, Euroxide Red, Euroxide Black, Hydrophobic Euroxide Black, Hydrophobic Euroxide Yellow, Hydrophobic Euroxide Red, D&C Yellow 6 Lake, D&C Yellow 5 Zr Lake, and mixtures thereof.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of one embodiment of the parts used to make the multiple liquid phase compositions of the present invention and fill the packaging into which it will be sold. This figure represents a single filling station. On a manufacturing scale this alignment of equipment as shown in FIG. 2 is repeated for as many filling stations as is desired for simultaneously filling of a plurality of containers. Connecting or [0066] supply lines 1 and 2 a are in communication with each phase's supply vessel, not illustrated herein. Said supply lines 1 and 2 a can be in the form of hard or flexible piping such as stainless pipes or hoses, useful in transporting said phases from their respective supply vessels. Such supply vessels are typically stainless steel and are equipped with valves at their base wherein flow can be shut off to allow for changing such vessels without shutting down the processing equipment. Said supply lines may be equipped with an inline pump from the supply vessel, thereby pressurizing the supply line to ensure consistent or steady flow from its connected supply vessel. FIG. 1 illustrates a situation wherein supply line 1 is hard plumbed with an in-line pump not shown, whereas supply line 2 a is not under pressure and the respective liquid phase feeds from the supply vessel into the funnel shown therein. Supply lines 1 and 2 a lead to valves 5 that regulate flow of each phase to its respective pump, in this illustration, pumps 3 and 4. In FIG. 1 the pumps are illustrated as positive displacement, piston-type cylinders. Valves 5 are rotary valves that open to allow the flow of each phase from its supply vessel to enter the pump's cylinder as the pump piston is in its back or down stroke. There is a single valve for each pump and all the valves act in unison due to their being linked in a manner wherein one drive mechanism actuates all the valves. Alternately, separate drive mechanisms can be used to achieve a similar effect. Simultaneously to the flow entering the piston cylinders, valves 5 close the outlet of said cylinders to prohibit the phase from flowing directly into supply lines 3 a and 4 a going to combiner 6. Upon the pumps forward or upstroke, valves 5 reverse position, allowing the contents of each pump cylinder to discharge its contents into the direction of the combiner 6 through supply lines 3 a and 4 a while prohibiting back flow into the vessel supply lines 1 and 2 a. Pumps 3 and 4 are used to insure a constant supply of each phase to the combiner section 6. Given the proper flow character of the phase, such piston type pumps may be eliminated. When pumps are utilized, it is preferable that said pumps work in tandem with flow meters to insure consistent flow by the pump. Not illustrated herein, volumetric flow meters, and, or mass flow meters that can be utilized to adjust the pumps to insure constant flow. This can also be accomplished by utilizing metering type pumps to deliver the required volume or mass of each phase.
  • Prior to the phases entering the [0067] blender 7, the supply lines 3 a and 4 a are aligned in such a manner as shown in the cross-sectional views of FIG. 2 in the combiner section 6. FIG. 2 represents a cross-sectional view of the alignment of the phase feeds from line 3 a and 4 a as they are prepared for entering blender 7. FIG. 2a illustrates an alignment of feeds from 3 a and 4 a wherein independent feed line 21 is located within feed line 22, thereby injecting the phase coming from 21 into the center of the feed from line 22 prior to going into the blender 7. FIG. 2c is an alternative to FIG. 2a where the feeds are aligned side by side in a common line from the combiner section 6. FIG. 2b similarly illustrates the situation where four feeds are combined together in one line coming from the combiner section 6 going to blender 7. As an alternative, 2 b and 2 c, a bundle of piping running parallel representing multiple feeds could also be used.
  • After moving through the [0068] combiner section 6, the aligned phases are introduced into a blending section 7. The blender section 7 comprises a mixing element that comprises a series of obstructions for diverting the liquid phases entering, inducing turbulence and causing the phases to blend together in a way that contributes to forming the composition's eventual in-package pattern. In most cases a static mixer is utilized in the blending section. Static mixers are well know in the art and are generally in the form of a series of repeating or random, interlocking plates and, or fins. Static mixers suitable for use in the process are the Chemineer SSC.75-4R-S (KMA 4 element ¾″) available from Chemineer Inc. P.O. Box 1123, Dayton, Ohio 45401 and the Koch SMX 4 element mixer (¾″ nominal) available from Koch-Glitsch LP Mass Transfer Sales and Engineering, 9525 Kenwood Road, Suite 16-246, Cincinnati, Ohio 45242.
  • After the blended phases pass through [0069] blender section 7, the phases are introduced to the delivery nozzle 8. Delivery nozzle 8 is utilized to deliver the combined phases to the bottle. As previously mentioned, in normal manufacturing operations, a plurality of containers will be filled simultaneously. FIG. 3 represents one of a plurality of stations on such equipment. Container 31 is secured into a puck or bottle holder 32. A rotating platform 33 turns the container 31 at a speed determined by the drive mechanism 34. The drive mechanism 34 for the platform 33 can be a variable speed mechanism or a constant speed mechanism. Container 31 is any suitable container for the product. Preferable containers are transparent PET bottles wherein the pattern of the finished composition is visible to the consumer.

Place the cleansing phase into a gravity feed supply container connected the supply inlet on the piston pump for phase 1. Establish a recirculating loop from the heated conditioning phase vessel through a scrape-wall heat exchanger, then through a plate and frame heat exchanger and back to the heated conditioning phase vessel using a positive displacement pump to control the flowrate. Use the scrap wall heat exchanger to cool down the conditioning phase to about 40 C, and set the plate and frame heat exchanger to heat the material back up to about 65 C returning to the heated conditioning phase vessel. Connect the supply inlet of the piston pump for phase 2 to a point between the scrape-wall heat exchanger and the plate and frame heat exchanger, such that there is a supply temperature of about 40 C supplying the pump for phase 2. Use pistons of suitable diameter and length to pump both the cleansing phase and conditioning phase in predetermined amounts (for example 50:50 or 70:30 volume ratio). The piston pumps on the filler will pump the 2 phases through a combining section, blending section, and through the fill nozzle supplying the bottle. The combining section should be set to combine the two phases in a side-by-side manner. The blending section contains a ½″ 4 element Koch SMX static Mixer (Koch-Glitsch LP Mass Transfer Sales and Engineering 9525 Kenwood Road Suite 16-246 Cincinnati, Ohio 45242).
